Dont let HBO's clever 24/7 editing make you think Ortiz has a chance!

    Because he's a complete **** who won't fight the 2nd best boxer of his generation?

    You're answering the wrong question but I get your point.

    Still great to watch and I fail to see why a proper boxing fan wouldn't want to watch this.

    Shane has skills even now that Ortiz doesn't.

    I see something in him. We will see but I'm not sure Floyd is still the fighter he was. Make no mistake though if he is 90% of the fighter he was its still gonna be near impossible.

    Ortiz carries real power though!

    Primetime is definitely one of the most inappropriately named channels out there.

    'Premier' Sports - who openly pick up the scraps that other channels don't want - being another.

    Somehow it's appropriate, like when you see "Big Time Boxing" on Sky and it's Haye-Harrison. Or when you see a "BABE" t-shirt on a fat munter. It's ironic and a little sad.

    I don't think many will be backing Ortiz. Can't blame the programme makers though, it wouldn't be much of a show if they said Ortiz has zero chance so you might as well turn off now.
